About the Game

"You always hear about this happening, but never expect it to happen to you"

'TraumaCore Violence' is a 2D Action Game starring "Uzi",

a girl who has just receded into the depths of her psyche.

//COMBAT:

Combat is done through crazy high flying combos with an in-depth input and animation cancelling system.

Almost all attacks are frame-1-startup leading to a particularly snappy and fast paced combat feel,

allowing you pull off to insane chains and combos once you master your moveset.

//MOVEMENT:

Your attacks aren't just attacks, each move can alter or add to your momentum,

allowing for insane speed once you understand how every move works and effects your speed/direction.

//COMBO SYSTEM:

Every kill, a combo.

Kills will increase your combo meter, keep a combo going until the end of the level and you will receive a massive point bonus,

or cash-out your combo for its weight in health, whichever you feel matters most.

//FULL CAMPAIGN CO-OP:

At any time, you can go into the game options to enable a fully functional 2-player co-op mode,

take on your problems with a (imaginary) friend.

(This requires two controllers to be connected)

//STORY&VISUALS:

Uzi is trapped within her own psyche, plunged into the depths of her own mind trying to figure out how to escape.

The atmosphere and visual style intentionally pulls from a style coined "TraumaCore",

in which heavily edited stock and/or familiar images and/or art are used to fuel a sense of overwhelming stress and dread.
